Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in an unknown environment is a prerequisite to have a truly autonomous mobile robot. In this thesis, we focus on appearance-based visual SLAM, for which we develop a graph-based nearest-neighbor search algorithm to speed up bag-of-words (BoW) image...

Sampling from a given probability distribution is a key problem in many different disciplines. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms approach this problem by constructing a random walk governed by a specially constructed transition probability distribution. As the random walk progresses, the...

Real-time strategy (RTS) video games are known for being one of the most complex and strategic games for humans to play. With a unique combination of strategic thinking and dexterous mouse movements, RTS games make for a very intense and exciting game-play experience. In recent years the games AI...

Highway Lane change under uncertainty with Deep Reinforcement Learning based motion planner
DownloadSpring 2020
Motion Planning is a fundamental component of a mobile robot to reach its goal safely avoiding collision. For a self-driving car on a highway, the presence of non-communicating vehicles, specially those whose intent is unknown, creates a lot of uncertainty for the motion planner in generating a...

This thesis addresses the problem of automatic real-time 3D reconstruction of general scenes from monocular video. Whereas many impressively accurate reconstruction techniques exist in the multi-view stereo literature, most are slow offline batch methods designed to work in highly calibrated...
